WASHINGTON, May 18—Count Cas- @ini, the Russian Ambassador, in @ conversation with a representative of the Associated’ Press to-day relative to the attack on Jews In Southern Russia gala: “I know that when the facts are made Known it will appear differently and will be shown that the decree does not discriminate against the Jews. “The fact that Lieut.-Gen. Raaben, the Governor of Bessarabla, has been ealled to St. Petersburg, and acourding to one report, removed, shows con- elusively that the Imperial authorities @re sériously regarding the recent oc- currences at-Kishineft and are taking prompt measures to punish the guilty and to prevent repetitions of thee rbances, here Is in Russia, as in Germany and Austria, a feeling against certain of the Jews. The reason for this unfriend- ly attitude is found In the fact that the Jews will not work in the fleld or en- in agriculture. ‘They prefer to be lenders. Give a Jew a couple of dollars and, he becomes a banker and y ker. In this capacity he takes of te Russian peasant whom he soon has in his power and ulumately desiruys. 1t ly when the patience of the Peasant Is exhausted that a conflict be- tween peasants and Jews occurs.

For July delivery it sold as high as 11.18, an advance of more than 49 points, or $2 a bale, over Saturday evening’s close: For delivery next January cotton sold at 8.88, an unprecedented figure. Never in the history of the Cotton Exchange has the commodity been so valuable. W, P. Brown, of New Orleans, the nuw bull leader, Is credited with engineering the deal by which prices have been wo extensively boosted. The bears hi come to a realization that the mo} ment to keep up the price of cotton Is world-wide. Mr. Brown has allie? with him interests in New Orleans, Liverpool and Egypt. The rise in this market to- day was preceded by a remarkable rise in Liverpool and. followed by a similac rise on the opening of the market ju New Orlears, Jumped When Brown Came. Prices opened from 15 to 18 points higher than Saturday's close. Mr. Brown Was not on hand at the opening.

MORRIS PARK RACE TRACK, May 18—Weather of the scorching summer variety put the crowd into a@ listless sort of apathy this afternoon. A trip through the ring meant a bath in per- spiration, and the crowd made the visit as short as possible. Consequently bual- ness fell off and speculation was languid. It was the sort of weather that sults the horse, however. Far racing purposes it was Ideal, even if the crowd was un- comfortable. Straw hats blossomed largely on the lawn. Heretofore the straw hat has been an object of curios- {ty and derision. The card was an excellent one for the washday of the racing week. ‘There was a splendid feature in the Clare- mont Handicap at six and a half fur- long, and several other races promised contests of the gilt-edged sort. The purchase by HE. R. Thomas of the great four-year-old Hermis was widely discussed by turfmen. ‘The opinion was that Mr. Thomas was a de- cided acquisition to the ranks of great sportsmcn who are now interested in the turf, Evidently Mr, ‘Thomas does not intend to let money stand in the way of his owning a crack stable. His expenditures rival the lavish outlay of money made by Mr Whitney when ne first appeared on the turf.

Here the Italjans, with shovels and picks, — gathered to talk over the situation, Some of the women had infants im ” their arms. They begged the men not to go into the meeting, but to go to the “pipes,” as all public work is known to the Italians. Against these appeals the leaders of the strike played the endorsement’ of the Central Federated Union, and told the women that the Union would give them money to get food and pay rent, and that if their husbands neia/ out another day or two at the most the contracors would have o give in,| and then thelr husbands would be getting $2 a day. ‘This plea hejd the women in check for a while, but soon efter the ing was called to order several of the women went inside and literally; dragged men out to send them to work.
